I'm not convinced that this information can possibly be relevant for
the end-user doc. If I got it right, the problem we're trying to solve
here is the lack of clear information for frontdesk to explain why $PT
is not supported yet. I've got a feeling that the solution being
worked on here is overkill to address this need.

As said earlier, I think I would put that all in some
contribute/design/* sub-page, and possibly point there from a "Why
isn't $PT supported" FAQ, or similar.

That's work that needs to be done upstream.

Depends if the request has a patch attached :)

In other words, if *we* have to do the work, then yes, I think these
criteria are useful to set our priorities.
